With all the Jimmy Savile BBC mess going on, I was worried about it airing at all. So I'm okay that it aired with little fanfare if it meant it wouldn't be met with some kind of protest.
And also that it was the BBC showing it.

Just finished watching BBC full length version for a second time. Spike did a great job with it i must say. Learnt quite a lot of stuff that i did not know before. My favorite parts would have to be footage of Michael is the studio while the whole twymmf part was very interesting and awfully cute.
1 thing though, anybody notice that there was no mention of the words/title "Moonwalker". They showed multiple parts of the film including the chase through the streets and Mr Big's spider globe when talking about the short film smooth criminal. I know you can say that it all leads up to the music video that is "smooth criminal" but i felt it kinda weird that the film was not mentioned at all. Nor was it during the speed demon part of doc.

Yeah, even though they talked about Smooth Criminal, Speed Demon, and Leave Me Alone videos, the actual Moonwalker bit was an after-thought I wish they talked about more.
Also, just a smidge more on the Bad Tour would have been nice, like backstage footage before a show.

I'd be willing to bet there will be some kind of bonus featurette on the bluray that'll be dedicated to moonwalker

I dunno. What else would there to be said since they showed the quick montage of the movie?
I guess it's kind of a big deal John Lennons son was in it.
And the kid version of BAD should have also been brought up.
I felt the same way about them explaining more of the Smooth Criminal lean. But I guess there's not more much to say than IT WAS DONE WITH STRINGS, SEE?

If he refers about tabloid rumours MJ not wanting to be black, then he should wonder what he sees in his own mirror?
MITM is great phrase, I think many people reflect their inner selfs in to MJ, basically what they think MJ was, is not MJ, but themselves. I don't know how to explain it but hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say:blush:

I hope you have your tissues close by.
Watch Matt Forger's eyes during the interview from Havenhurst studio.

ya rly.
There's probably hours and hours and hours and HOURS of tape, film, audio, pictures, etc. of material from between 1986 and 1988 alone.
I could watch every Bad tour show they have (which we have no reason not to believe they have at least 75% of the 123 shows on tape) in one sitting

Matt Forger gets emotional everytime when speaking about Michael.The One was made before 2009 and he's crying there too just remembering the good times when he worked with Michael , saying that it was the highlight of his life and nothing could ever match that or something like that.

Re: The Spike Lee BAD 25 Documentary /DVD/ TV / Theater Release [Discussion]
All those teary eyes from grown men got my eyes water too
I know my reply a little bit ott but that was exactly what I was thinking when watching interviews from people who worked with MJ. To think what Sullivan says about possibility MJ being p*do, I doubt they would be crying over a man if they have/had any doubts, after all, some of them were with MJ a long time and got to know him very well.
I suppose interviewing people who spent hours/days/months/years with MJ, means nothing to compare Sullivan and likes him could get out of Mann and other people who was around only limited time and what they say only supports what Sullivan wants to sell. Sullivan and other bottom feeders have a picture of MJ in their mind and God forbid them to slip away from that picture. Thankfully there are people who worked with MJ, and they can give a different picture of the man.
Sorry about going of the topic.

lol @ the comment about Tatiana getting too aggressive.
Uh, yeah, a kiss on the cheek and a peck on the lips is iNsAnE!!
Oddly, them letting her go from the tour is the only gripe I really have with MJ/Frank.

Re: The Spike Lee BAD 25 Documentary /DVD/ TV / Theater Release [Discussion]
Yeah, I have realized this too: Michael is the Mirror! Because he was a very private person and because he was different, people tend to fill in the gaps of their knowledge about him with themselves (not realizing they are doing that). Projection. It's amazing how revealing that Mirror is about those people... When you read someone like Sullivan you know most of the stuff is about himself, his hung-ups, his issues and not Michael. Unfortunately few people realize that.
BTW, is there a way to watch the BBC version online?

Nothing to look forward to about next year's Oscar then.
I don't know what are the other films about so I'm not gonna comment on whether it's deserved or not, but if the documentary about 2Pac could be Oscar nominated a few years ago, maybe this could have too, but oh well.

As always, Oscar politics.
Already there is controversy with the top 15. The movie that won the New York Times' Critics Best Documentary didn't even make Oscar's short list.
Oh well, I am sure BAD 25 will be the most successful & most watched Doc of 2012. Even without an Oscar.

About the documentary....:
Everytime from now on when I see or hear Michael sing "Make that change" in the end of MITM, I'll think of how that was done (the Andrae Crouch Choir came back in the studio and Michael finished it with 'Make that change') Perrrrrfect as always Michael!
Ahh...I forgot. You're right. They have no obligations towards Joe Jackson. Thanks for the reminder.

Oscar or not, the documentary was excellent. I hope the lack of recognition doesn't discourage them from doing similar documentaries of the post 80s music. Those years have been underrated for far too long.
